We understand the great arc of human history bends towards people coming together in ever greater numbers - from tribes to cities to nations - to achieve things we couldn't on our own.

The entire so-called history of the world is nothing but the creation of man through human labor.

Knowledge-full, unfettered knowledge of its own heritage, of freedom's enemies, of the whole world of men and ideas-this knowledge is a free people's surest strength.

The man who has no sense of history, is like a man who has no ears or eyes.

Just in general, any government throughout history hasn't really wanted its people to be educated, because then they couldn't control them as easily.
